Wukong and Vegeta Defeated, Krillin Dead?

"Damn wild monkey, don't get cocky!"

Cooler smashed the mountain rock apart and snarled viciously.

Impossible. His ki was clearly stronger than Sun Wukong's, so how had he been at a disadvantage in that fight just now?

"I'll kill you!"

Cooler raised his ki again and, with a boom, shot toward Wukong like a cannonball.

"Ha!"

Wukong also sensed Cooler's terrifying ki and immediately used the Kaioken, unleashing a battle power of over ten million.

"Whoosh!"

After Wukong used the Kaioken, the aura around his body turned red, and he immediately traded punches with Cooler again.

Boom!

This clash ended in a draw.

"Is that all? Looks like I overestimated you."

Cooler sneered. His ki had already risen past twenty million, and now Wukong's strength felt limp and feeble to him.

As for Wukong, his right fist ached faintly. Even after increasing his power, he still was not Cooler's match!

"Die!"

Cooler shouted, then drove a knee strike toward Wukong's abdomen.

Wukong immediately blocked with both arms, but he could not withstand Cooler's savage power, and his arms instantly went numb from the impact.

"Hah! Yah!"

Pressing his advantage, Cooler clasped his fists together and hammered them down toward Wukong's back.

"Cough! Ah!—"

Although Wukong's awareness had reacted in time, his body could not keep up, and his back was still struck hard.

Boom!

With a deafening crash, Wukong plummeted into the valley, and the entire mountain peak collapsed.

"Whoosh!"

But immediately after, a dark-red aura erupted like a volcano. Wukong smashed through the mountain peak, still burning with fighting spirit.

"Triple Kaioken!"

"Ha!"

The dark-red flames of aura grew even more intense. Wukong's muscles swelled, blue veins bulging all over.

He had raised his battle power again!

"Hmph, useless. Before absolute power, all of it is futile!"

Cooler also erupted with ki, and a purple whirlwind likewise shot into the sky, blasting the scattered rocks beside him away.

The two surges of energy ravaged the earth like tornadoes.

"Hey!"

Wukong charged at Cooler again and swung a fierce punch.

Cooler easily sidestepped, but Wukong seemed to have predicted his movement long ago. Following through with the momentum, he flipped, arrived behind Cooler, and slammed an elbow into him.

"Ah!"

Cooler had not expected Wukong's movements to be so agile in midair, and his whole body was sent flying.

By the time he was about to crash into the mountain range, Cooler had already adjusted to the speed of being knocked back. He planted both feet down and steadied himself.

Crash!

The rock beneath Cooler's feet instantly cracked like a spiderweb, unable to withstand his terrifying power!

Just as Cooler was about to use the force from the rock to charge at Wukong, he saw a red figure already right before his eyes!

Bang!

Cooler's vision went black, and then his entire body continued flying backward. It was as if the bridge of his nose had been broken, and blood sprayed out.

In order to increase his speed, Wukong kept raising the multiplier of the Kaioken. He knew he had to defeat Cooler before pushing the Kaioken to its highest multiplier; otherwise, given his body's condition, he would definitely lose afterward.

Cooler had not expected Sun Wukong's speed to surpass his once again. While he was still stunned, he was assaulted by Wukong's Kaioken barrage.

"Da! Da! Da! Da! Da!"

Wukong's attack speed grew faster and faster. His swinging fists and legs looked as if there were countless of them, striking Cooler from every direction.

"Enough!"

Cooler instantly erupted with ki, blasting Wukong away, then quickly pulled back to open the distance.

"Huff!—Hah!—Huff!—Hah!"

Wukong gasped for breath, his body starting to feel heavy.

Cooler wiped the blood from his nose. Then he looked at his own battered, scarred body, and towering rage surged through him.

"Bastard, I'll tear you to pieces!"

Cooler roared.

He could not understand why people whose auras were clearly weaker than his could suppress him and injure him. For the Frost Demon race, this was unforgivable.

This time, Cooler stopped playing around. He was truly furious.

"Damned monkeys, all of you can die!"

"Hah!!!!!"

Only now did Cooler truly unleash his real aura.

The overwhelming purple flames of energy instantly swelled several times over!

"Whoosh!"

Wukong braced himself and used the twenty-times Kaioken again.

"Boom!"

This time, Cooler reached Wukong's back at extreme speed, then drove a knee into him. With a thud, Wukong was sent flying backward.

Then Cooler erupted with energy again and chased after Wukong, coiling his tail around him and, from behind, hammering punch after punch into him like a madman.

"Ah!----"

Wukong's scream rang through the clouds.

"Weren't you so capable just now?"

"So strong?"

"Try breaking free?"

Cooler struck Wukong again and again, venting the rage of his earlier humiliation.

Cooler swept his tail and flung Wukong straight out, then sprang up and kicked him.

"Rumble!"

Wukong's body crashed into the ground like a cannonball, smashing out a huge crater.

Gravely injured, he collapsed to the ground and dropped out of his twenty-times Kaioken state. Only now did the backlash reveal itself.

"Ah!"

Cooler's combo just now, along with the burden of the Kaioken, filled his entire body with unbearable pain, forcing him to cry out in agony.

Right now, even standing up was difficult for him.

"Damn it! Is it over just like this?"

Wukong was deeply unwilling. After a year of special training, he had already grown much stronger, so why was he still like this whenever he encountered a powerful enemy?

And on the other battlefield, Vegeta was not doing any better.

He had originally thought he had simply been careless, but in the fight that followed, he was still no match for King Cold and was still being overwhelmingly beaten down.

Fortunately, Vegeta had served as Wukong and Li Feng's punching bag many times over the past year, so his vitality was still strong. It was just that every time, he was either knocked into a giant boulder or smashed into the ground.

He could not understand it. Why could enemy after enemy surpass him? Why had he still not become a Super Saiyan?

"Hmph, looks like it's over. You appetizers really can't compare to that Saiyan who killed Frieza after all!"

Cooler sneered, raised his right hand, and fired a purple Death Beam.

"No!"

"Dad!"

"This can't be!"

The Z Fighters watching the battle never imagined that in just an instant, Wukong and Vegeta would be swiftly defeated, and Wukong would even be threatened with death!

Just as the Death Beam was about to pierce through Wukong's chest, a figure suddenly rushed onto the battlefield and shoved Wukong away at the critical moment.

It was Krillin!

At the most urgent moment, he had also sensed Cooler's deadly attack. All he wanted was to save Wukong!

Rustle!

In that split second, Krillin struggled to push Wukong away, but his own chest was ruthlessly pierced by the beam.

"No! Krillin!----"

Wukong watched helplessly as Krillin pushed him away, was struck by the beam, his eyes grew unfocused, and finally collapsed to the ground.

Krillin had actually died to save Wukong?
